Reiki Retreat experience

I recently ret= urned froma tremendous experience in Indonesia. = I was at a resort, but this was not a holiday trip. Rahter= is was a Reiki Retreat put on by Agnes Lau (of Mind Transformations) and Li_anne. During the retreat we learned quit= e a lot about Reiki (a type of healing energy) from the point of view of a practitioner. Actually this retreat was much more then simply learning how = to use Reiki more effectively, it was a was a serie= s of sessions which brought about self-awareness and healing as well.=

The activities= were geared towards the origins of Reiki. As a small group we learned some of Usui’= s (the guy who discovered Reiki) techniques and we practice these on each other. It was quite interesti= ng to learn that Reiki was originally a much more intuitive healing method then is currently practiced by most people today.

The other acti= vities of the retreat included kinesiology and flower essence rememdies. I won’t go into a full accou= nt of the retreat, for that you will have to join the next retreat yourself. What I do want to share with you i= s the effect that it had on myself and some of the others attending.

At the beginni= ng of the weekend we did a group meditation on what we hoped to get from the retreat. For me this was gett= ing back my focus on my life goals (or at least the present ones). It was really a case of “you= get what you ask for”. Litt= le by little I started to realize when and where I had lost focus, this awareness plus the multitudes of healings that I gave and received during the retreat= had a profound effect on me. Not = only did I find my focus again, but also I was able to learn how I had, little by little, lost my focus to begin with. This newfound awareness I believe will help me maintain my dedicatio= n to my goals by not succumbing to the same stresses of life that got me down in= the past.

I am looking f= orward to more retreats and sharing with Reiki energy.
